AAR Wins Progress Minnesota Award
April 20, 2015
Governor recognizes Progress Minnesota Day for Finance & Commerce event
Gov. Mark Dayton has declared April 9 as “Progress Minnesota Day” in honor of the Finance & Commerce newspaper’s annual Progress Minnesota awards.
The awards, now in their fourth year, recognize entrepreneurs, individuals, businesses, manufacturers, nonprofits and economic development organizations for moving the Minnesota economy forward in innovative ways.
The 2015 Lifetime Achievement award will go to M.A. “Mort” Mortenson Jr., who is retiring as chair of the company his father started in the 1950s. When Mortenson took over the company in 1976, the company had $33 million in revenue and 224 employees. Now the construction and development company has more than $2.5 billion in revenue and 3,800 employees.
The April 9 event will recognize 27 honorees at the Hyatt hotel in downtown Minneapolis. Seats are still available for the event. For more information about Progress Minnesota, call Amanda Dorn at 612-485-1534.
